Supreeme Supreeme

In case people haven't heard of 'em, one of the most talented young acts out there call themselves Supreeme. Supreeme is a triumvirate: King Self, Negashi Armada, and Tom Cruz. These fly guys have ties to Atlanta, Georgia, but don't think you're gonna hear some snapping and walking it out when you listen to them. Instead, you will hear some solid, educated, cocky-ass raw hiphop.

As a Junior in High School, I had heard by word of mouth of some kid at Grady High School, a rival high school, named Negashi who could freestyle better than anyone. Two years later, as a freshman in college, I found myself having my first experience with Supreeme, cranking their debut album Church and State, in my dorm room. I was hooked and have been a fan ever since.

If you find yourself rocking hoodies, at Moes and Joes, sporting 80's shades, shopping in Lil 5, bumping jazz, salsa, James Brown, rock, West Coast, and Outkast in one afternoon, or having a passion for drinking with your friends, you'll vibe to their music. Fresh beats and mature rhymes delivered with a youthful brashness makes Supreeme stand out in the crowd. And did I mention they put on one hell of a live show.

Favorite Songs: "No Love", "Supply and Demand", "Espionage", "U Feel Lucky"

If you're still perplexed by the group, here's how they describe themselves:

In a nutshell, Supreeme is like the combination of James Bond, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, David Bowie, Peter Jennings, Fidel Castro, Neil Young, fine foreign chicks, Bunny Wailer, fly ass exclusive kicks, dark rum, 1996, and an oppressive government all mixed together in a rap format. It's pompous yet honest, fun yet respectable, whimsical but street, basically it's some fly shit.*

Told you them dudes were fly.
